uncovered and raising serious questions about whattheobamaadministrationknew about the volatile security situation that was going on in banghazi. the ambassador's writings were uncovered by cnn inside the u.s. consulate four days after he and three americans were killed in an orchestrated attack. cnn reports that the journal specifically mentions the rise in islamic extremism and al-qaeda's growing presence in libya. also that stevens believed he was on an al-qaeda hit list. tragically now we know that he was on that hit list, but don't what we don't know is who else the ambassador told about his concerns and why nothing was done to ensure his protection, because one thing is certain, if an american ambassador took the time to sit down and put into writing that he's in fear of his life, well, then he more than likely expressed the same concerns to his superiors and colleagues, both at the state department and throughout the administration. so where are those letters? where are those cables? where are those emails? in other words, what is the administration trying to hide? now secretary o

until the first presidential debate,presidentobamaandmitt romney will have the chance to press one another to answer questions that they themselves have been reluctant to answer. we'll run through some big ones, keeping them honest tonight. first, we've got some late polling. new cnn/orc numbers that show the race tightening. president obama still leads among likely voters 50% to 47% but that three-point gap is within the poll's margin of error. by comparison, just after the conventions, mr. obama got a four-point bounce to put him in the lead by six. the president's favorable rating meantime remains above the crucial 50% mark at 52%. mr. romney is close but still in negative territory at 49%. he enjoys an edge on handling the deficit and joblessness, but trails on virtually every other big issue, including medicare, taxes and foreign policy. keeping them honest, when it comes to some of those issues, both candidates have come up short either on specifics or credibility. issues like cutting taxes without ballooning the deficit or burdening the middle class. the romney campaign has

[laughter] because as you recall he sort of build his campaign around the idea that barack obama was born in kenya, or somewhere other than the united states. but that campaign could not take off exactly. mitt romney is therefore better or worse. and in all seriousness, when barack obama's parents got married in 1960, it wasn't in kenya. it was in hawaii. they got married in hawaii. there were people in prison in this country for racial intermarriage. that's no joke. it was illegal in 20 states in 1960, and it gives you an idea of how much the country has changed in a good way. but right after richard nixon became president, for vacancies appeared on the sprinkler. you never know how that's
